Cruise Ship Profiles

Carnival Sensation

Carnival Sensation is a Fantasy class cruise ship launched in 1995. Carnival committed $250 million to enriching all eight of our Fantasy-class ships with more features and guest services.

Upgrades include the addition of new lobby bars in the grand atriums, tropical island theme in every main pool area, WaterWorks park, Serenity adult's only retreat, and a resort-style pool. Staterooms have been upgraded with new, flat-screen TVs and restyled bathrooms.

The Carnival Sensation offers a modern design with a historical theme throughout the ship including areas such as the Enchanted Forest.
